Chinamay be having its in
ternal troubles but, Maylia
beautiful Detroit Chinese girl
is riding up the read to fame
and fortune. She is taking Hol
lywaad literlv by storm. Her
oriental beauty is a big part of
a Cinderella legend that is rap
idly building up around her.
The young lady, who is barely
out of her teens garnered the
third lead of Columbia’s To
the Ends of the Earth,” with

oat having any previous acting
experience. First and second
billing in the picture goes to
Dick Powell and the ever pop
ular Signe Hasso. Maylia, wh
ose real name is Gloria Chin
Fong, 5s the daughter of a
Chinese merchant in Detroit .
She went to Hollywood for a
short vacation before contin
uing her college studies. She
was seen in a fashionable rest-*
aurant by the Mrs. Sidney Bu

she should like to be tested for
a role in a motion picture and,
of course, she answered it in
the affirmative. Her test was

Rev. Richard V. Moore who
last Thursday was inagurated
as the third President of Be- j

insisted from the beginning
that all details be accurate,
Maylia’s chance in the picture
was thenceforth assured.
Love follows success they say
The beautiful young women

role of the all-wise Chinese sup

Dick Powell a real lesson in
the history of the world. The

The Law Places
Selection of
Beer Retailers
in YOUR Hands
With relicensing time here,
let’s review what the law says
about selection of beer retailers.
Nebraska’s liquor control law
forbids the brewers or whole
salers from having any finan
cial interest in the selection of
licensees. It places the selection
in the hands of public licensing
officials.
These officials have the right
to examine, under oath, any
applicant for a retail license or
renewal. The board may
authorize its agent or attorney
to act in obtaining any desired
information.
Further, the law provides that
the local governing body must
consider every signed com
plaint from any citizen of a
violation of the law or any ob
jectionable conduct on the part
of an applicant. A new license
may be denied or a renewal re
fused if there is cause.
This Committee urges you to
cooperate by bringing law vio
lations to the attention of li
censing bodies.

FISK UNIVERSITY
CAGES WIN
Nashville, Tenn.—Fisk cap
ers closed their season recently
with their fourth straight win,
defeating Lounisville Munic
ipal College, 40-32 on the loc
al campus.
The team’s record for the
season shows 11 losses and 8
wins, including the 9 losses an
5 wins within the Southern
Intercollegiate Atheletic Con
ference.
Getting off to a bad start
this year, the Blue and Gold
whipped up into winning stride
shortly before the close of the
season and revenged a num
ber of their earlier defeats. The
addition of Jesse Thompson
and James Harvey, both nat
ives of Nashville, to the squad
in early February, greatly sha
rpened the Bulldog’s attack.
Bearing the brunt through
the recent Fisk victories were
Thompson and Harvey, Henry
Jones, Los Angeles, Calif.;
Herbert Gollier, Nashville
Tenn.; and Jesse Henderson,
Amsterdam, New York. The
Louisville game closed the col
lege career for the squad’s sole
senior, Inman Moon, Oklaho
ma City, who is a veteran of
two seasons.
